Hi guys,

Let me explain all the story: I used Drupal 5.x a few months ago and stopped for a while. Now I'm creating a new site with Drupal 6.3 but I'm having trouble with some aspects of content appearing.

First of all, it is possible to create a frontpage with different blocks? I have 3 or 4 different "areas" I need to update every week and it would be easier if I could create blocks to define those content areas and edit each one separately.

If it's not, my alternative would be creating a front page where my "areas" are in fact blog posts or story posts. The number would never change so they all always appear in the frontpage.
That's what I'm doing know. I made a story post with my content and it just works fine.
But I have a problem: there is a lot of information I don't want:

"Luis — Sat, 07/12/2008 - 03:36" <-------- I'm the unique user capable to create or edit content so I dont need this information. How can I take it off?

"Read more" <-------- I want to read the entire content from the beginning! How to disable this "read more" stuff?

I could swear that I was able to do all those things in Drupal 5 but I'm a quite lost now. :/

Can you help me please?

Thanks.

You can specify which content types won't show user information in your theme's settings, in admin/build/themes, "Configure" tab.

To show full posts, go to the post settings in admin/content/node-settings and set the "Length of trimmed posts" to "Unlimited". This affects only the new posts, so if the "read more" does not go away try to edit and save your existing posts (or use the http://drupal.org/project/retease module).

You could also do the above by editing your theme's node.tpl.php file and removing whatever you don't want.

Thank you very much, Cog.rusty.

Damn, I completely forgot that it was possible in the theme settings. o_O

Thanks for the trimming tip, also.

;)
